As a result of increasing demand for base drive panels using the Sinamics DC Master converter, the Sinamics DC Master (DCM) Base Drive offers end-users and third-parties such as system integrators and Siemens solution partners a pre-wired solution that comes complete and tested with all of the necessary components mounted onto a back panel. Sinamics DC Master Base Drives are an extremely flexible and cost-effective solution for new installations and retrofits where space is limited. Sinamics DC Master Base Drives offer more power per panel in the same footprint as compared to the previous two generations of base drives and are rated from 15 A-850 A continuous current. Standard features of the new Sinamics DCM Base Drive include input fuses, output dc fuses (regen only), control transformer, ac line contactors, Profibus, BOP20, UL508A Certification and 65 kA SCCR rating.
